Rules For Commenting
Comment moderation is enabled, there may be a delay in publishing comments, please do bear with me.
If you have a blog/website, do fill in the URL box. It helps me reach your blog. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t – you are still welcome to share your thoughts.
Anonymous comments are fine, but I suggest you use a name (a pseudonym is perfectly fine) it helps when there are more than one anonymous comments.
If you do not agree with me or with other commenters, please convey this very politely.
Please do not leave comments that spread racial, ethnic, communal or caste hatred. I will not be able to publish such comments.
Name calling, labeling, abusive language, will get your comments either deleted or edited.
If you leave a link with your comment, it should only be there to substantiate your claim, not to repeat what you are saying. I have to go through the link before publishing your comments, and that takes time, so please add links only if really needed.
If a comment is inoffensive and I do not have the time to go through the link, I might publish the comment minus the link.
I may or may not endorse the opinions expressed by the commentators.
Twisting or misinterpreting the post or the comments will force me to edit, ignore or delete your comments.
This is a personal blog, and my posts are my opinions, I can only write what I believe in, although your suggestions are welcome, please understand that I cannot write something I am not convinced about, so maybe sometimes we will just have to agree to disagree 
I reserve the right to delete any comments I find offensive. Comment moderation is important, read more about it here in this post about ‘Blogging mistakes, copyright violations and nasty comments’ by Nita.
Your suggestions are welcome.
Feel free to get in touch at indianhomemaker at gmail dot com, but please be polite in your emails.
I try my best to respond to all comments, and definitely if you have asked something. Please do email me if I have missed your query.
WoW! I hadn’t noticed this before.
And I completely agree with your policy.
I don’t believe anyone has the right to be disrespectful to you or other bloggers.
And if someone disagree with you or another blogger in your comment section, i believe they can potray their views in a polite manner.
Cool
nice page!
Went through many, including yours for guidance Reema
ah loved it. People tend to forget commenting is privilege.
hehe…good one. a disclaimer / comments policy is needed as the net is full of morons these days.
ahem….read the policy and now am scared to ask what I wanted to ask fearing that you might delete me entirely from ur blogger list….but still I am taking a chance

Hey, interesting blog; I just chanced upon it. I would really like to encourage you and all readers to share thoughts on planning for old age – a thought expressed fleetingly in your comments about ‘Baghban’.
I love the Indian system of family looking out for family, but it was perhaps more practical when life-spans were shorter. Today, I see friends who are 60, and have cancer, having to take care of parents who are 85, and are essentially unable to take care of themselves. Here, I seriously think the govt. needs to step in with some social planning for more retirement homes with nursing care etc. This is a reality as modern medicine reaches us before social security is planned for.
But the converse part is the older person who is relatively healthy, but does not know what to do with their life; who are hoping to be taken care of, who think life is over before it is over. How can we prevent becoming that way? What should we plan for? What ways to combat loneliness (esp. after spouse passes), boredom, and depression (which probably goes unrecognized)?
Nice rules !!
